  1. Being yellow bellied is an old American insult which translates to someone who is cowardly.

     

    yeah i figured it might have some deeper meaning but still, doesn't sound very good.

  2. good song, i like it, sounds very grandiose kinda like survival...

    but i think it's a little too repetitive and 'BELLY' need i say more...?

    though i really like the stack of backing vocals in the chorus, i wonder how they're gonna pull that off live...

    overall, a good song but i like the handler a lot more.

  3. I fucking love it! Finally a good song!!!

    That bassline is the reason why i love this song,listen to it, dammit, i'm gonna cry, not the best they done but definitely the best from this album so far.

    Thanks Chris!!! You did an amazing job!

  4. I get that it's a little bit overproduced, but that has been the case since BHaR, so it's nothing new.

    It's a little bit annoying on this song particularly, because for me,it kinda sounds like a song that could be the soundtrack of a videogame, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...

    The vocals on the verses, i really don't like them... and the lyrics are a little bit cheesy, but otherwise, it's one of the best songs we got so far.

    For me the list would be

    -Psycho

    -Reapers

    -Dead Inside

    -every other song Muse made

    -Mercy

  5. How is it anything like Madness?

     

    You do realise that they've released pop-rock songs before?

    Yeah i do, but they were more imaginative, for example, Starlight is pop as hell but i've never heard anything like it before, but this song has been done a million times, it brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

  6. Omg, i do not like it at all.

    Is so poppy, not saying pop is bad but they definetively got rid of the 'rock' side of the band on this song.

    Oh my gosh i'm so angry, i sound like a stupid fan girl now but Muse, seriously?!?

  7. I think it's a bit much to expect every song to sound new and completely different to what they've done before (okay I may be exaggerating to the other extreme here. But of course there will be similarities to their old songs.)

     

    Yes, of course you can never be completely innovative, but still, it sounds like they are just modifying old songs. That's a bit too much, in my opinnion.

  8. I much prefer Starlight, i still think the guys are just reusing old songs to create new ones, without erasing enough elements of the old ones. It's alright i guess... but it's just so boring and not very innovative.

    Although, a lot of people complain when they change too much so i understand the whole 'they are constanstly asked to sound like old Muse, so that might limit their creativity'...

    Starlight, as simple as it is, was a new sound when it first came out, and it did innovate. Now this song doesn't bring nothing new to the table.

    I kinda like the piano bits though.

    Maybe it'll grow on me, i don't know.

  9. The solo in Madness worst than the solo in Dead Inside?

    Gosh, the solo in Dead Inside is as simplistic and lazy as it could be, it sounds good, but because it's basic and minimalist enough to fit with the song.

    Madness's solo is more imaginative, follows the vocal melody and then explodes with those notes at the end (god i need to get better at my musical vocabulary).

    I know this is subjective but what the hell.

  10. I don't like the general sound and theme of it

    I don't like how over-produced it sounds

    I don't like the lyrics at all

    I don't like how generic almost every element of it is

    I don't like Matt's voice in it

    I don't like that it's the album opener

     

    I don't like it tbh.

     

    Exactly the same i feel for the song

    although i really love Matt's voice here (but i hate how he sounds on the second half, almost at the ending, what the hell happened there)

    And the damn DEAD INSIDE bit has been stuck in my head all day.

  11. I'll say it again. The last minute or so of the song is the deal breaker. The rest is nothing special. The lyrics for the most part aren't great but this

     

     

     

    is some of the most sloppy song writing Matt has ever done. I get that the song was about the woman and now the focus is on what the woman has done to him but the sentences are conveyed like someone who learned how to speak last week, it's really poor. And the delivery at this part of the song probably put an emphasis on how piss poor the lyrics are. Again, I have no issue with the rest of the song, it's just meh apart from the vocal delivery which I think is excellent.

    i also don't like how he sings these last lines, sounds like he forces his voice too much? i don't know, like he puts a lot of effort to sound convincing but he doesn't achieve it.

    Rest of the song is excellent vocallywise though.

  12. The more I listen to it, the more I am convinced it should have had slap bass.

    Who agrees with me?

     

    That song already exists, it's called Undisclosed Desires.

    Jokes aside, it would sound too similar, but yes, it would have sounded good.

    But i think they don't like slap bass a lot? didn't they make fun of it in the making of The Resistance?

  13. I made a little experiment, i changed the key of Dead Inside to the key of Madness, and lowered the tempo a little bit, apart from the vocals sounding really funny, it does sound better on this key, try it out if you can. The key is B flat major.

  14. - Undisclosed Desires and Dead Inside are both in C minor. Madness is in B flat major.

    - They both have a Depeche Mode vibe to them

    - They both have much more prominent multi-track/vocoder vocals than Madness does.

    - They both feature bass lines with a lot more space in between the notes than Madness' bass line has

     

    Yeah, i didn't say it doesn't sound like UD. I think structurally is more like madness, while sonically it is more like UD. But for me is like a perfect mix of both.

    Minus the things that made both songs interesting.

  15. Could someone explain to me why so many people keep comparing it to Madness and not Undisclosed Desires? It has WAY more in common with UD than Madness.

     

    Because you can't deny the similarities

    as with Psycho sounding similar to Uprising.

    It's like, if the sound of 'Madness' was a music genre, Dead Inside would fit perfectly in it.

  16. I don't know if someone said it already but this songs sounds very similar to Houdini by Foster the People, i realised after i found myself thinking that the 8 bit synth thing was actually in Dead Inside and not in Houdini, now i will confuse both songs forever.
